GreenCine has upgraded the look, feel and interface of its content side, GC Central, and invites you to come by to take a look. We think the new design, which uses Drupal v.6, will make it easier to find articles, point you to more DVDs on the site, interact with the community, and in general have more fun poking around. And we'll be tweaking and updating its features as go along, too. So... come on inside!

Interview By Jonathan Marlow

"The Monterey International Pop Festival forever altered world culture and music when it was held June 16 - 18, 1967. Monterey Pop drew hundreds of thousands of people to Monterey in Northern California. For one weekend, the harsh realities of the Vietnam War, student unrest, the Cold War, racism, urban riots, poverty and domestic politics were suspended and even transcended." -- Edna Gundersen, USA Today, March 2, 2007

The fortieth anniversary of Monterey Pop is upon us. To mark the occasion a special screening will take place tomorrow; Saturday March 17th at SXSW preceded by a panel featuring Lou Adler, Andrew Oldham and Michelle Phillips from The Mamas and The Papas. Read on for the second part of our interview with director D.A. Pennebaker, conducted by Jonathan Marlow.

The Guatemalan Handshake

This award-winning debut is an exceptional exploration of unusual human behavior. The film opens with the mysterious disappearance of Donald Turnupseed (Will Oldham) but this odd occurrence merely serves as a catalyst for a number of delightful digressions and reflections (including an appearance from Billy Nayer Show's Cory McAbee).
